Shortening / Lengthening Sleeves
We carefully shorten or lengthen your gown’s sleeves to suit your proportions, maintaining original style and detailing.
Slimming the Sleeves
For a more elegant, fitted look, we taper bulky sleeves while preserving comfort and design harmony.
Adding Functional Buttonholes
We create or repair real buttonholes for sleeves, especially important in detailed or vintage bridal designs.
Taking in the Sides
Perfect for slimming the waist or contouring the torso — we tailor your dress for a seamless, flattering shape.
Letting Out the Seams
For added comfort, we can gently let out the side or back seams where extra fabric allows, without affecting structure.
Shoulder Adjustments
We modify the shoulder width, slope, or seams to ensure the dress sits comfortably and doesn’t shift or slip.
Shortening the Dress Hem
We shorten the dress to your desired heel height, with care taken not to disturb intricate lace, beading, or layers.
Note: Shortening may affect proportions in heavily structured or floor-length designs, and is most effective on simpler or casual dresses.
Adjusting the Lining
Whenever we alter the outer hem, we re-hem the lining accordingly to maintain comfort and alignment throughout the gown.
Reducing Collar Gap
We refine the neckline to remove gaps and ensure it follows your body’s contours — especially important for off-the-shoulder or bateau styles.
Reshaping Lapels
For structured bridal pieces (e.g. bridal coats or boleros), we can reshape lapels for a softer or sharper appearance.
Moving or Raising Pockets
If your gown includes pockets, we can reposition them to suit your comfort or silhouette, without disturbing the overall design.
Adjusting Buttons
We replace, move, or reinforce buttons for a secure and polished finish — especially important for back closures and decorative buttons.
